  1. Over the yrs. I've watched "game trails" turn into cattle trails, hunter trails , cycle trails, quad trails ,sxs rds and finally truck rds. What use to be a 2 mile hike to a secluded ridgeline , is now a road. 

    heck, some good ole spots are now subdivisions.

    Not much one can do about it.

    Finding secluded spots to hunt are getting harder to find and  are dissappearing. 

    Sure, one can backpack or ride into remote wilderness areas. Even those spots are getting crowded.  Think you finally found a spot nobody else has been, to find an ole beer can or casings laying around.  

    Its unfortunate and usally ticks me off too, to have others intrude and not follow rd closures. Trying to explain the rules to a violators, is a waste of time. 

    Blocking rds might delay or deter some but won't stop most. 

    Do what you think you got to do. 

    Good luck. 

    I usually take a break and let things settle down.  Go back to my hunting.

    I would be all about it but the damage is already done and G&F is . It is no secret that we are losing all otc hunts because of it. G&F will still find other ways to spend our money in areas .

    Latest, turned in tags. Newest raffle tag idea. Forget the next guy in line who didn't draw

    . More money in selling it, specially archery elk tags. 


  3. Most of us have had similar encounters.  A few yrs back opening deer season in 21.

    I can remember getting to my spot to park early  , leaving truck and seeing headlights coming up the rd. Yep they stopped and are getting out too. dang.

    Ok I know an easy route to my glassing spot. I guess they knew a different route to same general area.  I can see they got to the high ground hillside first. dang .

    Plan B. Backtrack and hunt an area i usually pass up . Long story short. I tag a nice 3x3 and have it packed  out, when they come by on their way out. I thanked they kindly and left.!

    Had they not intruded.  I  probably wouldn't of gotten my nice buck !

  4. You can get the Mountain House in 10 serving gallon size. 

    I bought a chicken/rice and a lasagna like 10 yrs ago. Had at property trailer for over 10 yrs.. in rv for 2. We finally opened it , just to get rid of it.

    Lasagna  was actually quite good. Chicken/rice a little chewy but ok.

    I'd buy again if needed, lots of different meals to choose from.

     

    Easy to buy a couple 10 serving size and zip lock what you need to take along
